six-team qualification group
This is el hexagonal:
http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/preliminaries/nccamerica/standi...
It's the final six-team phase of qualifying in the CONCACAF region for the World Cup in South Africa next year. The six teams play each other home and away with the top three qualifying for the finals automatically and the fourth team playing the fifth-placed team in the South America group for a place in the finals also.
The team referred to in your sentence is Trinidad and Tobago I presume.

the Hexagonal
While I agree with James on the "six-team..." the official site of US Soccer calls it the Hexagonal. You can view the standings on this page:
